“…In order to support the user with the methodology described above, Dänekas et al developed the so-called "SGAM Toolbox", a Unified Modeling Language (UML)-based DSL available as an extension to the Enterprise Architect software [17]. One advantage of the SGAM Toolbox is that common UML modeling tools like sequence and activity diagrams are available, since these are standard parts of Enterprise Architect.…”

Abstract:The rollout of smart grid solutions has already started and new methods are deployed to the power systems of today. However, complexity is still increasing as focus is moving from a single system, to a system of systems perspective. The results are increasing engineering efforts and escalating costs. For this reason, new and automated engineering methods are necessary. This paper addresses these needs with a rapid engineering methodology that covers the overall engineering process for smart grid applications-from use case design to deployment. Based on a model-driven development approach, the methodology consists of three main parts: use case modeling, code generation, and deployment. A domain-specific language is introduced supporting the use case design according to the Smart Grid Architecture Model. It is combined with the IEC 61499 distributed control model to improve the function layer design. After a completed use case design, executable code and communication configurations (e.g., IEC 61850) are generated and deployed onto compatible field devices. This paper covers the proposed rapid engineering methodology and a corresponding prototypical implementation which is validated in a laboratory experiment. Compared to other methods the proposed methodology decreases the number of engineering steps and reduces the use case design and implementation complexity.

Abstract-The Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) is widely used for modelling, requirements engineering and gap analysis. In this paper, a formal method for engineering security requirements with SGAM is proposed. Asset security classes, risks and vulnerabilities are modelled formally and a method for deducing security requirements from these entities in the context of an SGAM model is developed. A reference implementation of this method is presented, which allows the automated extraction of security requirements from SGAM models. This set of requirements can serve as an initial starting point for a thorough security analysis. Experience from practical application demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed approach.
